1082 - Interview with the Producer and Director of The Cult of The Real Housewife

Author: Pink Shade January 1, 2026 Duration: 40:09
Mary Payne sits down for a chat with the executive producer (Deniese Davis) and the director (Julian P. Hobbs) of TLC's The Cult of the Real Housewife. We discuss the role of social media and content creators in the investigation into Mary and Robert Cosby's church as well as the myriad of former congregants featured in the documentary. And we pose the question - is Mary Cosby a victim or a willing participant in the shenanigans of the church?
